Youth unemployment rate high
Although the overall unemployment rate hovers between 16% and 18% and is considered among the highest in the region, unemployment amongst people between the ages of 15 to 24 is the highest of all the DR-CAFTA countries. According to a report released by the Ministry of Labor, youth unemployment is at 30.9% According to Hoy, the regional rate of unemployment averages about 7%. Labor Minister Max Puig said he would propose a plan of action to deal with unemployment during the 28 January political summit. Puig told Hoy that these labor opportunities would focus on community service and reforestation projects. The minister said there is also a plan of action involving government subsidies, which according to him have shown positive results in Argentina.
